Mike Parker, Chase Suddarth and Alex Bernstein animated this ruthless pummeling of DreamWorks Animation’s film slate. Buzz and Woody Badmouth DreamWorks sees the cast of Toy Story chuck nearly every DreamWorks Animation feature under the bus, with the exception of How to Train Your Dragon. I also think Kung Fu Panda should get spared the beating, but I have certainly seen enough of Shrek in this lifetime.
Anik Rosenblum directed and animated this new music video aimed at kids. It’s traditionally-drawn (digital) Flash animation on top of pencil and watercolor textures. The song is titled Colors, off Ted R. Wilson’s album.
As you might expect with an indie feature film, finding funding is half, or most, of the battle. Bryan Waterman has been baking his feature film, The Waterman Movie, for several years now, but he now has some footage to show. This release is part of a fundraising effort that already has Bryan $10,000 closer to his goal. The first two minutes of the film features the voicework of comedic genius Leslie Nielsen:
Tofu Girls is a product line “invited to participate and contribute to a brand… created by women for women.” To help promote this year’s line, the company produced this teaser below, which also was on display at their Comic-con booth.
Mike Moloney (Get Him To The Greek commercial) served as both the animation director and animator, Traci Honda handled character designs (and product designs), Erik Martin designed the backgrounds, and Griffith Kimmins helped on the animation front.
Lewis Trondheim, the creator of the 2002 Nickelodeon series Kaput and Zösky, has launched another project. Markus is the latest creation from the prolific French cartoonist, and to bring this 2-minute, Flash-animated pilot to life, Trondheim teamed up with Jean-Matthieu Tanguy of Magenta Production. In this form, it’s not fit for a young audience, but it sure is a great looking show.
